- Design Challenge
- Providing perfect field functions in limited space has become one of the key points in the design. Especially in the process of adding a mezzanine, in addition to the height of the upper and lower two floors, the position of the beam may also bring a visual experience that is full of oppression. How to find a moderate height ratio and how much mezzanine space to add to provide a safe and comfortable space for the staff has become one of the problems that need to overcome in this case.
- Project Duration
- The project started in February 2019 and finished in April 2020 in Taipei City, Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- This project has taken advantage of the inherent height and the mezzanine space in some areas as a meeting space for employees to rest and discuss important issues, expanding the functional use of the space. In the selection of construction materials, the designer has used Pandomo, recycled red bricks, and iron parts as the main building materials, using LED light bars to create a distinctive office space and demonstrate a professional corporate image.
- Research
- This project is based on industrial style and British characters, having effectively used the advantage of the height of the base and has chosen to add a mezzanine in some spaces to expand the function of the office space. Based on the elements of shipping containers, black steering wheels, and round cabin windows, corresponding to the features of import and export trade, and integrating the brand image and professional characteristics into the details and shapes.
- Inspiration
- As the client is really fond of the roughness of the industrial style, and also the uniqueness and exploratory spirit of the British maritime era, the whole space has begun to plan with these two styles, and based on the elements of shipping containers, the black steering wheel and round cabin windows which correspond with the work of import and export trade, creating a unique spatial appearance.
